- Support I like it. --UnpetitproleX (Talk) 13:27, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Support Per August Geyler, nicely put :) The choice of aperture nails that sweet spot between achieving background separation while still making it discernible. It may need a perspective correction though, the buildings are slitghly leaning out. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 19:08, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Support Brings back memories of Wikimania 2017, though in the opposite weather conditions. Not one that stands out at first, but then you like the way the people are echoing the buildings in the distance (and once again we can see all the way to Lyon Mountain south of the border in the distance ... yay!). And on further thought I like the idea that this shows this activity is not strictly a warm-weather thing but goes on all year, particularly important in a city that can have such severe winters. Daniel Case (talk) 01:42, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- I don't know if you noticed that due to the amount of snow that fell, the railing that prevents people from falling decreased in height --Wilfredor (talk) 02:48, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

- Weak oppose It's a good photo, with decent detail and good bokeh. It's probably worth nominating for QI, but the standard for such a common subject at FPC is very high (it appears to be a feral pigeon btw, not a Barbary dove; I've removed it from that category). My main objection in this case is the composition -- it's too wide for where the subject is in the frame. It's possible that a different crop could bring me to neutral or weak support, depending on what was cropped out. — Rhododendrites talk | 15:20, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment It doesn't look like a rock dove, if that's what you mean. I've never seen one with that pattern of feather pigmentation, and I've definitely never seen one with a red rim around the eye. What kind of pigeon do you figure it is? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:32, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

- Basile, as Aristeas has explained here and here, there is no such thing as un uncalibrated Adobe RGB ICC profile. If your computer is not able to consistently display images that include an ICC profile (like this one), then something is wrong with your computer, not the image. Happy to help in sorting out that issue. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 17:33, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Nothing is wrong with my excellent and recent (2021) high end laptop, in my opinion. It's subtile but very clear. Differences are noticeable when the two pictures are superimposed, one coming from a program, and the second from another. In this case the intense blue and turquoise probably come from a Polarizing filter. That increases the effect -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:51, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Here's one thing you can try: put the two images side by side, grab a screenshot, open it on Photoshop, and use the colour picker to sample the same pixel on both images. If the RGB values are exactly the same, everything is working as it should. If not, I'm afraid you have an issue with your computer. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 07:29, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- The problem is probably not the laptop, but the software configuration. Photoshop e.g. can be configured to handle colour spaces in many different way, many of them being dangerous and leading to a wrong display of colours. Adobe sometimes messes with the program settings during updates (I have experienced this myself), so it is at least possible that even without our knowledge the software is configured in a wrong way. Julesvernex2’s suggestion is as simple as recommendable. --Aristeas (talk) 07:57, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Guys, 2 tests made: 1) The original AdobeRGB, 2) The same file converted sRGB.
- Conclusions: Very clearly different colors displayed on Chrome and Photoshop when the file is AdobeRGB, and exactly the same colors displayed on Chrome and Photoshop when the file is sRGB. It's so funny that I made the expected observations with this method you both suggest! To be sure, I made the same test with one of my RAW, the first one processed in sRGB and the second in AdobeRGB.
- Sorry guys, but if you intended to convert somone to your weird speculations, it's completely failed, lol. Believe my good faith. After your insistance, I honestly started to suppose that maybe something could be discovered, but on the contrary, these observations confirm my personal feeling: better to avoid AdobeRGB (for the web) and opt for sRGB instead. Info: My Photoshop is properly calibrated sRGB.
- Now, the good news after all these time-consuming operations, looking so close at the picture so many times, is that I noticed 2 more severe stitching errors: one in the middle, and one right of center. It means the withdrawal of the nominator is totally justified and very wise .
- I don't think it's worth discussing more. We disagree, well, it happens. Let's the bot close this nomination. If more conversation needed on your side, please use the talk page of this candidature and ping me. Best regards, -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:04, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

- Comment first of all, Thanks to Ikan Kekek for the nomiation! I really appreciate it. Regarding the notes and other question: I fixed the tilt, I found the dead pixels (coming froming the 25sec expos., not using the reduction for it) ... the colors: I got curious, because usually I don´t do a lot of processing, except using hdr´s from time to time if light makes it easier or I can´t use filters. Usually other photographers tell me to add more saturation and so on. I uploaded the original RAW image here: Details of the shot: tripod, ND-filter, GND-filter, ISO 100, 25sec, f/8,0. The low ISO and low shutter speed explains the nice soft colors. And yes, it was a really blue to purple hour. Thhe whole set of images are crazy. Detail of editing: Exposure +0,63; contrast +24; highlights -100; shadows +22; whites -40; blacks -3; clarity +8; vibrance +12; saturation +32; no tone curve edits; no HSL or Color edits.

- For the unedited version ... yes, Sorry Basile Morin. You are right. The tint +32 came from the last edit of the processed image and wasn´t set back to zero in the virtual copy in Lightroom. I fixed this together with the color space for this image as well. Snowmanstudios (talk) 12:42, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- Fixed but currently not yet uploaded? Should we conclude that the file named "File:Ethiopia - Lake Assale (raw image, no editing).jpg" is actually an edited version with a misleading name? If so, it is important to fix this error as soon as possible by uploading an update, in my opinion, or to delete the wrong file. We can't claim that "it is a natural tint" while the purple hue we see was rather blue at the origin -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:14, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you, Snowmanstudios! My emotion is honestly higher with the natural colors coming from the original picture. Then I would support a version based on this shot. The purple tint adds nothing in my view, and I regret it even spoils a bit the realistic aspect of this beautiful scenery. -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:33, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment This sentence: "Copying, duplicating, saving as a digital file, printing, publishing in form of media including web, manipulating, transmitting or reproducing without the prior written permission of Thomas Fuhrmann is strictly forbidden and would constitute a breach of copyright." is refuting the terms of the current license CC4.0 and should be removed from the metadata exif -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:49, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Support It is a long exposure photo (25 sec.). Probably made with a gray filter. Then you consciously get different colors and it becomes more like a painting and not an exact print of reality.--Famberhorst (talk) 05:22, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- Support--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 09:01, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- Support Beautiful. And, to my eye, the colours look perfectly attainable. Lighting can change drastically, depending on atmospheric conditions, the angle of the camera towards the sun, and the sun's elevation, so comparing this image with others of the same location doesn't tell much (e.g., this and this were shot at the same location within less than 5 minutes). The camera's white balance setting and the Raw processor demosaicing algorithm will further influence colours, making it very hard for anyone but the photographer to assess if the resulting image is faithful to what his eyes are seeing. In a nutshell: are these colours possible? Yes. Were they like that when the image was taken? If Snowmanstudios asserts they were, then they were. Does it really matter? Not for me, but I understand why others think differently. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:29, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

- Info Unfinished obelisk, Aswan, Egypt. It's the largest known ancient obelisk and located in the northern region of the stone quarries of ancient Egypt of Aswan. The obelisk and wider quarry were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979 along with other examples of Upper Egyptian architecture, as part of the "Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae". Its creation was ordered by Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC) and is nearly one-third larger than any ancient Egyptian obelisk ever erected. If finished it would have measured around 41.75 metres (137.0 ft). The obelisk's creators began to carve it directly out of bedrock, but cracks appeared in the granite (see top part) and the project was abandoned. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 13:43, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose The problem of the over-contrasted images of this kind is that they seem to have been copied, manipulated, many times from a distant original, like a photocopy on paper which has lost all its shades. It gives the impression of an inaccurate reproduction of another artwork. Actually it's just too clear that the picture was different at the origin, and even if this choice is deliberate, the absence of intermediate tones is quite rude, in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:20, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose I have to vote with the other opponents. I know the coloured original you took. And this one is very beautiful. It shows these tiny little green shots growing in front of the pocket watch, giving a nice contrast to the background and the golden finish of the casing. And I can understand your approach to work out a monochrome variant. But the gradation you chose here is very hard, eliminating all the nice tones known from the original, letting this little green nature disappear as well as many other details you once captured in that photo. --August Geyler (talk) 15:37, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Oppose Unusual sky color, but the reasons I oppose are the strange diagonal striations in the sky and weird things, like what is that brown thing to the right of the rider's head?-- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:40, 30 April 2023 (UTC)- It's a dune! Hahaha 😄 ArionEstar 😜 23:12, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

But the generally soft lighting and the colors of the sky and bushes help.

- Support as nominator -- it documents an important moment in US-China relations: an act of direct, physical, intelligence gathering on (above) US soil. It's also, frankly, very impressive. The U-2 was likely moving at several hundred mph, yet the photographer managed to line up all the important elements - themselves, the plane's wing (a distinctive feature of the U-2), the balloon, and the plane's shadow, all while piloting the plane at a high altitude. 9yz (talk) 02:39, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose The compo doesn't work for me. The crop isn't good. --Sebring12Hrs (talk) 22:48, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry, but the plane’s wing is hiding a part of the Chinese balloon; at the first glance the balloon looks like a part of the wing. Most of the picture is uninteresting out-of-focus stuff like the pilot’s helmet. That unsharp thing protruding from the left into the window does not help the composition, and I wonder why the focus is obviously on the wing – either the cockpit or the balloon should have been in focus. In the end we are seeing not much in this photo, neither of the aircraft nor of the balloon nor of earth. Maybe this is a great shot for the friends of military stuff, but as a photo it just does not work. If we would see the pilot’s face, looking concentratedly at that suspicious balloon, that could change everything … --Aristeas (talk) 11:10, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Supplement: You could try to nominate this one as a FP on the English Wikipedia. For Wikipedia FPs the eduational value of a photo is often considered as very/most important, much more than here on Commons where we emphasize the technical and aesthetical quality. So a photo like this one may have better chances at the English Wikipedia, especially because there may be many US voters there which may consider that “Chinese balloon incident” as thrilling. --Aristeas (talk) 09:48, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Interesting, but as per Aristeas. Yann (talk) 10:14, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per others. Until we can get a shot that at least shows a clear view of the balloon from the U-2, we still haven't found what we're looking for. Daniel Case (talk) 18:15, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Whether this was a really important moment in history will have to be seen. Right now it's firmly in VI territory, but for me the event was not WOW-inducing enough to make up for the photograph's weaknesses (of which there are plenty). --El Grafo (talk) 08:07, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

- I'm voting against, but I can understand other people consider the main subject here is the cyclist. Then they don't really care about the background. The most logical explanation for the perspective issue is the camera was oriented upwards. To make the Buddhist graves vertical, the camera should have been parallel to the wall (inducing extra space at the bottom, to cut off later) or the perspective fixed in post-process.
- The problem here is that the gallery chosen for this photo is Architecture. Our guidelines are quite clear concerting the distorsions: Images should not be unintentionally tilted. Images of architecture should usually be rectilinear. Perspective distortion should either have a purpose or be insignificant. On this point I don't understand how the others review, either -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:42, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, it has some perspective and\or distortion problem, but it is really beautiful, and it is obvious, that editing would mean significant retouching changes. On the other hand, frankly, from aesthetical point of view our "verticals should be vertical" rule makes not all, but many of our architecture images look unnatural and sometimes even ugly in my eyes. So, I am not really sure that it is always good for a picture. LexKurochkin (talk) 12:32, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Tomer T, Basile Morin, Poco a poco, and Ikan Kekek: Here is a version with perspective correction. Besides the leaning verticals there was also some lens distortion (barrel type) which had to be fixed. It was not possible to get all verticals straight; seems that both (some of) the Buddhist graves and the ornamental merlons are slightly leaning in reality. The result is not perfect, but IHMO better. Should we offer it as an alternative version? --Aristeas (talk) 12:06, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, I think it is good idea to make an alternative version. LexKurochkin (talk) 12:24, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- I keep going back and forth between the versions and comparing them. I suppose the revision is somewhat better, overall, but we can't escape noticing that the main obvious difference is that different gravestones are leaning in each version. And the problem is, which one is more reflective of what someone would see in person? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:37, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. It seems very obvious to me that the perspective in the corrected version is fine, and definitely more realistic than this one above. Thus I will remove my oppose if it's nominated here. I agree that the Buddhist graves are not always perfectly vertical (I myself experienced the difficulty in this photograph), however the difference between both pictures is very explicit in my view. One is leaning in due to camera orientation, and the other one respects the quality guidelines. Concerning the recommendations (for non-tilted candidates), the implementation depends on the angle. In this case, with enough distance, I see no reason not to respect them. Otherwise it gives the impression that the graves are naturally tilted (which is wrong). I prefer an accurate representation of the reality. The distorsions are really minor in this case -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:42, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

- Support Beautiful. – Just out of curiosity, no nitpicking: Is there a special reason why you used a long exposure (4 seconds) with ISO 50 and ƒ/13 here? --Aristeas (talk) 10:18, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. F/13 was used to get a wide depth of field. ISO 50 for the best quality. Then naturally 4 seconds because of the ambient darkness. @Aristeas: which other setting would you have suggested? -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:42, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- I was just curious because often people use such settings only for an intentional long-exposure effect, but I saw no benefit for an intentionally long exposure with this subject. The settings are understandable if you needed them for the necessary depth of field etc. It may not have been necessary to go down to ISO 50. Some cameras have a real base ISO value below 100; e.g. on Nikon’s D850 or Z7 using ISO 64 will give us less noise and more dynamic range than with ISO 100. But on cameras with a base ISO value of 100 lower ISO values are usually just pulled from ISO 100, i.e. we get a longer exposure, but no improvement in dynamic range or regarding noise. According to Photons to Photos this also applies to the 5D IV (see 1 and 2 for dynamic range; 3 shows a small read-noise benefit for ISO 50, but 4 shows a small disadvantage, so it’s even). This means that one could use ISO 100 with the same quality. Use what you prefer. ;–) --Aristeas (talk) 12:37, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- Interesting. These tests seem reliable. However, they contradict what this guy says and shows on Youtube, i.e. images with less noise @iso 50 than @iso 100 -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:36, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- It's not a contradiction. ISO 50 will produce less (shot) noise than ISO 100 because you're increasing exposure. In most modern sensors, using ISO 50 is equivalent to using ISO 100 with a +1 exposure compensation (that's why Aristeas called it "pulling", a term borrowed from the old film days). In a nutshell: ISO 50 and 100 are usually interchangeable, provided that you are doing ETTR to maximise sensor saturation. I've added the "usually" because there are sensors that behave differently (e.g., on certain Panasonic cameras, see this thread where Bill Claff - the founder of Photons to Photos - digs into this topic). A final word on Photons to Photos data: don't read too much into small differences. Bill doesn't test all the cameras himself, he instead compiles data from volunteers that follow his protocol. The protocol is strict but there is always a bit of room for variation. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 09:48, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose The distorsions seem a bit extreme here, due to the low distance and wide angle. I don't mind the few insects in the sky, but there are visible chromatic aberrations on the battlements of the tower. The light does not seem very natural to me, as if the shadows had been lifted too much. Also the slightly shifted angle of view is less appealing than if the picture was taken in front. The dirty facade at the right was not worth this choice of an off-centered composition, in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:10, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Neutral This is the case for the discussion started about the picture from Thailand nomination. Verticals are vertical, but the perspective looks unnatural. --LexKurochkin (talk) 12:41, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose Blurry trunk. --SHB2000 (talk) 22:55, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Nice capture of an elephant
in a natural environment, but it looks like the shutter speed was not fast enough to freeze the trunk. Probably the combination 1/40 s and F/16 was not the best compromise in this situation. The light is also a bit harsh in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:32, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose It looks natural but it is a captive animal. Some of these places are not kind to the animals. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:27, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- It is a camp, it is India’s oldest, this one in particular. They are known for rehabilitating orphaned elephants, you may know it from this recent Academy award-winning documentary. I’d say the documentary showed that the elephants were well-cared for. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 00:32, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Yes but in zoos too they take care of the animals and sometimes "rehabilitate" orphans :-) Basile Morin (talk) 00:54, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Well, it’s not like pictures of captive animals aren’t featured (this, this, or these, for example). As for the camp’s living conditions for the elephants, they are well-documented, especially with it’s new-found fame. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 01:24, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Not sure you'll manage to convince Charles by showing him FPs of captive animals It's often a deal breaker in his view.
- I'm personally not as radical as him, but here I agree the camp where the picture was taken drains too many visitors to be considered as a "natural environment".
- Nevertheless, the reason of my negative vote above is the shutter speed, not the park (which even looks nice at first sight). Just compare with action shots taken at fast speed like 1 /1000s, 1 /1000s or 1 /1250s, wow! -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:43, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Yes but in zoos too they take care of the animals and sometimes "rehabilitate" orphans :-) Basile Morin (talk) 00:54, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose It looks natural but it is a captive animal. Some of these places are not kind to the animals. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:27, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Support Yes, if one wanted to freeze the motion the shutter speed of 1/40 s was wrong. However we can also accept that the photographer wanted to show the trunk’s motion; and this is possible by showing it with motion blur. In addition the rather slow shutter speed has also lead to a nice display of the splashed water; with a faster shutter speed it would have been less pronounced. Taking both points together allows us to say that the photographer has taken the settings intentionally and with success. --Aristeas (talk) 08:13, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- I do think the motion blur beautifully captures the action of the image—which is what sets the image apart from the many FPs of elephants we have on commons—but I do understand not liking it. As for the artistic choices, only @Tagooty: can tell us. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 10:39, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose Totally fine as QI but it looks too much like a "tourist shot", in my view. Thus not "one of the best pictures of Commons". The crop is very large, and the background cluttered. Maybe a special light would make this sculpture more interesting -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:00, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Support The light nicely emphasizes the three-dimensionality of the sculpture and makes it stand out from the background which is at most sides darker than the sculpture. The foliage is of uniform colour and offers a fairly uniform background. You could try to crop it a bit more (but not too much). I have passed that sculpture about a dozen times or so in the last 10 years, but never took a photo because it was always either in the shadow or besieged by drug addicts or cluttered with waste; I have never seen it in such an attractive manner, so this is a remarkable shot for me. --Aristeas (talk) 10:01, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

I would be able to produce a picture of much higher quality if I really tried and don't think this picture deserves the FP-status.Stephan Sprinz (talk) 09:40, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
- Essentially, you cannot withdraw a nomination that you didn't open. After you contribute a picture to Commons, you have no ownership over the image, you cannot stop discussions about it just because you are the author/uploader. I will respect your request to withdraw, but will also not nominate any of your other pictures in the future. Tomer T (talk) 13:03, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Tomer T: , see rule 5: "Nominators and authors can withdraw their nominated pictures at any time. This is done by adding the following template: I withdraw my nomination ~~~~. Also, remember that if more than one version is nominated, you should explicitly state which version you are withdrawing.". I've bolded the authors for emphasis, but my point is Stephan Sprinz has every right to withdraw this nomination. SHB2000 (talk) 21:36, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

- Info Axillary wrasse (Symphodus mediterraneus), Arrábida National Park, Portugal. This species of wrasse is native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean from the Azores and Madeira to the coasts of Portugal to Morocco and then along the coastal waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Found in eelgrass beds at depths from 1 to 50 m (3.3 to 164.0 ft) it can reach 18 cm (7.1 in) in standard length, though most do not exceed 12 cm (4.7 in). This species is a food fish, game fish and can also be found in the aquarium trade. Axillary wrasses are oviparous, males are nest-makers and it feeds mainly on mollusks, gastropods, bivalves, tubicolous worms, chitons, sea urchins and bryozoans.

- Oppose The top crop cutting off the head is a bit unfortunate in my view. I also see no reason to include the blurry wooden frame in the composition.
Additionally, the picture is oversharpened. Weird artifacts got in the hair at various places.I would recommend to revert to the original version, by respect for the photographer (and the person,by the way, {{PR}} missing)-- Basile Morin (talk) 01:58, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

- Thanks. I would have agreed with El Grafo below if the format had been vertical and a bit tighter. But in state, favoring the out of focus beam to the detriment of the hair, from my point of view it is an awkward choice / accident -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:40, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
- Interesting, the frame does not bother me at all. To me it feels like I'm being greeted at the door: "Hello, come in, glad you could make it, can I get you a drink?" The more I look at it, the more I like it ... --El Grafo (talk) 09:30, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Different views. The subject looks friendly, but the composition seems random to me. And I don't think it's "missing the point". Just the way I see it subjectively. Otherwise I agree about the wow factor being limited -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:56, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Basile Morin Fair enough! You know, over the years, FPC has established some fairly dogmatic views on certain things that are just not in line with (and sometimes the complete opposite of) what is considered reasonable in certain genres of photography. That's at least in part the legacy of the old days. People around here were mostly concerned about taking useful photos for Wikipedia. Without much prior exposure to photography, reviewers latched on to the common guidelines that separate the beginner photographer from the snapshot-taking tourist. But guidelines were mistaken as rules, turned into gospel and applied without considering whether they actually apply to the image in question ("verticals must be parallel" is my personal favourite). It's slowly gotten better recently, but on occasion we still struggle with this legacy. Maybe I've grown a bit over-sensitive to that. Maybe I was the one missing the point: I took your comment as you falling for the old and very misconceived "never cut into people's heads" dogma. Apologies for that!
- I see the composition as a very pleasing, roughly golden ratio based one (eyes around the top right intersection, mouth around the bottom right one). If that doesn't resonate with you, that is absolutely 100% fine and gives me something to think about. I'd prefer a good discourse over a boring rule-of-the-fifth-day-nomination any day. Again, apologies if I crossed a line there. El Grafo (talk) 09:54, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- No worry, I would be very happy to debate too, in my mother tongue, for all the subtleties of the language and the cultural references.
- In Europe, the educational system is different from that of the United States, thus the adjective 101 for example is not immediately obvious.
- "Sterile" is a word I would not have chosen if the head had been uncut in that case. "Conventional", perhaps?
- Show me a rabbit, a duck, or a bear with the top of the head missing, I would probably find the crop similarly unfortunate :-) Because a "whole" is precious in animals (including humans).
- Agreed about "dogmas" (to avoid). Each case is particular. However, conventions are powerful too. Even adoptable sometimes :-)

That's portrait photography 101, complaining about this is like complaining about the lack of feet in an upper body portrait: missing the point.

- Info The genus Strigilla was introduced by TURTON, 1882 (Conchylia insularum britannicarum, page XVI), and was defined as "shell with angular striae in opposite directions". Normally all ribs or striae have a similar direction, here it changes in a very noticeable way. If you look at the left valve, on the left side the striae are horizontal and slightly curved, then there is an almost smooth area at the top, followed by striae running from top left to bottom right, then another fairly smooth area and all the way to the right again striae at a different angle than in the middle of the valve (and vice versa on the right valve). Such an arrangement is unique. --Llez (talk) 20:58, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

- The crop could be slightly improved in my opinion, by placing the boat in the center, keeping the same ratio (to avoid an elongated aspect), however the resolution will be significantly lowered, and it's not possible to avoid the vertical format in this case. The lack of sharpness and noise start to be noticeable at low size, here. The nomination is also poorly categorized with no description in English (and a superficial one in Portuguese).

The lines in this image scream for horizontal orientation, as with any other picture of a sunset over the ocean from the beach. And even if it were done that way, an uninteresting boat on an uninteresting sea underneath a very pedestrian sunset (as I've said, if you nominate a picture of a sunset here, it better be one that makes most of us feel like we've never seen a sunset before, and this ... well, it's the kind of sunset that makes me wonder if there are ever going to be any more good ones) is just not going to get off the beach, so to speak.

- Comment Unfortunately, the FPC bot did not count correctly here: The last reviewer placed
{{weak o}}
instead of{{Weak oppose}}
for opposition. The bot probably didn't understand that and turned 5 opposing votes into 4. Therefore, regretfully, this photo will not be promoted. -- Radomianin (talk) 14:14, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

This image of blocks upon blocks of high-rise residential towers emphasizes what those images often elide: that a city is a place where, more than anything else, thousands or even millions make their homes and live their lives.

- Comment Mmmmmh ... I think I like the subject in principle and b&w seems like a good choice as it helps to keep the focus on the facade and off the vegetation. But somehow it's not quite there yet. It looks a bit flat and pale. Is that a straight de-saturation? There's so much you can do with the different color channels when converting to b&w ... maybe try to darken the wooden windows and door a bit to make them pop out against the wall? --El Grafo (talk) 10:26, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

- Support I would second El Grafo’s invitation to experiment a bit more with the possibilites of b&w, but it already works for me as it is. The stuff we can see vaguely through the right window intimates that this is a house full of memories; the door without stairs shows that they are kept secret. Would make a nice cover photo for a poetic novel in the style of The House of Breath etc., or, if one prefers, for an ambitious crime novel like Faithful Place. --Aristeas (talk) 08:22, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

- Info Tompot blenny (Parablennius gattorugine), Arrábida National Park, Portugal. Note: no FP of this species. It can be found in shallow, coastal waters off western Europe, the Mediterranean and North Africa. The tompot blenny is a relatively large blenny that can grow up to 30 centimetres (12 in) in length. There is a single branched tentacle over each of its eyes. It's very territorial and their territories are centred around a crevice in the rocky reef which the fish uses for shelter. They occur in shallow seas at depths of 3–32 metres (9.8–105.0 ft). It has sharp, comb-like teeth which they use to scrape food from the substrate. They feed on sea anemones[ and on other invertebrates such as prawns and other crustaceans. They are crepuscular, being active mainly at dawn and at dusk. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:48, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

- Comment I guess the idea was to take a contre-jour photo with some kind of false color? I'm not sure how to judge it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:37, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- The "orange and teal" look has been a bit of a color grading fad in the world of cinematography, partially because it is a pair of complementary colors that works well with human skin tones of all sorts. In principle, that seems to be a reasonable choice for a still shot of a bronze sculpture at golden hour with clear sky. So judging should probably be done more on the "artsy" scale rather than the one for usefulness and realism ... El Grafo (talk) 10:21, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Thanks for the explanation. I find that the background is too blurred for my taste, and I'm not sure I like how bright portions of the sky are, though it's clever to catch the statue blocking the sun. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:25, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

- Question Famberhorst, is it an artificial background? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:51, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- Answer: That's right. It's a photo from 2022. Then we regularly used this background. Nowadays, if possible, we do it in the nature itself, possibly with a windshield.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:33, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- I see. Why is the background not smooth, then? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:04, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- Answer: the photo was taken outdoors, then the lighting conditions will affect the background.--Famberhorst (talk) 04:56, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
- If it was taken outside, how was it an artificial background? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:40, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- Answer: The object will be placed out of the wind. Then a frame (1.5 x 1.5 meters) with the desired color is placed as far behind the object as possible. (green in this case) The further back the better the depth of field.--Famberhorst (talk) 16:05, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- I see. In other words, it was a real object, just not part of nature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:27, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, the background itself was not nature but arranged in nature. The seed pods are of course a natural object.--Famberhorst (talk) 04:56, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Right, but I find this completely legitimate and not at all similar to using a computer program to substitute a different background, although I don't necessarily oppose that, either, if it's done well and described honestly in the file description. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:49, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- The problem is aesthetic. This artificial background is misleading by giving the impression of being green like natural plants, but in reality it is a fake environment -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:05, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- I understand, but as it's blurred bokeh, it makes little difference to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:19, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Not the same at all. Because nature creates natural harmonies in colors and shades, whereas fake environments ruin this beauty. In this case, the colors seem unreal and the plant in contrast oversaturated. See also this weird green in a previous nomination.

Especially at the bottom left I see houses with ugly grey/white roofs. The green tones in the lower part of the photo are very flat and do not sparkle in my opinion. The bridge is beautiful, but not exceptional.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:40, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- Weak oppose I think this is a technically well taken image, showing this landscape in a more or less good light. The composition is normal, showing hazed and flat as well as balanced parts but also slightly overexposed details. The level of detail is not exceptional. So I can't see anything outstanding. --August Geyler (talk) 20:05, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

- Support Lovely paper painting! --SHB2000 (talk) 06:48, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- Support It looks like this was done on lined paper. The work might benefit from a very restrained and delicate restoration, but I'd rather they leave it alone. A digital restoration could be good, though. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:35, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for your review. We share the same opinion here. The state of conservation is generally excellent, considering the age of the document. We could handle a restoration using Photoshop, but in this case I don't want to falsify original details, given that a graphic work of art always contains imperfections due to the limitation of manual skills, the materials, the textures, etc. Yes, the paper is lined, and there are authentic inscriptions written at the bottom. Maybe a trace of brown pad over "l'an 2"? At full resolution a few spots are darker and lighter, but they don't look like scratches, so perhaps not to be removed. Even the turquoise tiny spots on the upper lip and under the eye, although obviously unwanted, may be aged 229 years. There is also a dark mark over the hand, which looks like a superficial horizontal folding line, and another one even less visible above. But the paper doesn't seem folded, thus I wonder if these marks could be preliminary lines of construction by the artist (insufficiently covered by the wash above), or an irregularity of the original paper, or something else of historical significance. The physical work is missing, thus as long as we don't know the origin of these peculiarities, I would find the enterprise of arranging the drawing to make it potentially superior to what it probably was in 1794 quite perilous.

- Historic documents should remain faithful to the original in my opinion. Restoration is accepted, but the render should be as close as possible to reality. It's not like the treatment of own works that can be arranged as desired -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:16, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

- Oh, yes. The original scan very obviously is. File:Amanda Berry Smith by T. B. Latchmore - Original.tif The photograph is pasted to the mount. The paper colour of the mount is just what they chose, it doesn't indicate anything about the photo colours. Sepia was pretty much the method of stabilising photographic prints of this period; most of the stuff that wasn't sepia'd won't have lasted.

- Oppose per BigDom. Also, I'm a user of the iPhone 14 Pro (Max), and while I certainly am impressed with the camera quality, it won't ever compete with my Nikon – iPhone photos wouldn't get past QI at best. --SHB2000 (talk) 12:24, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

- Only my opinion: It seems to be much more informative than "one of those alien computers on the original Star Trek", as this is a real mid-infrared image of one of the most recent (the supernova could be seen from earth in 1667) and near (10,000 lj) supernova remnants.

- Comment If a current-day version of this were nominated to QIC, it would presumably be declined because of the cropped feet. On the other hand, the crops are kind of symmetrical, so it seems like a good composition to me. I may well vote for it, but I felt impelled to mention this issue. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:21, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment Yes, hard to understand why the original was cropped like this. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:21, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek and Charlesjsharp: It's probably not reversible as the negatives probably no longer exist, but I don't think cabinet cards - which this was - have the same dimensions as a negative. So it's probably one of those things where they took the photo, they wanted reproductions to hand out, the ratio's fixed for that and pretty narrow horizontally vs. the tall verticals, so... crop crop, here you go. Early photography had some odd constraints, especially when it came to how images got mass produced as opposed to just, y'know, framed as a photo. I checked two glass negatives, and both were a ratio of 4:5, and this cabinet card is almost exactly 2:3 Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:16, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- Got it, thanks. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:40, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- Interesting, but the photographer would have known that was going to happen and framed the composition differently. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:44, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- Possibly, though I've seen weirder things in old photos - often get the same photo in a half-dozen different forms - oval cropped, a wide crop, a narrow crop, a stereoscopic square crop. Also, I'm not sure if cutting things off on the side was looked down on as much back then. (Also, consider [1] and [2] - clearly the same photo, but the second is far better cropped. Maybe they were just sloppy back then? Kinda rare to see a carte-de-visite or cabinet card with two people in it that I'd be entirely happy with the crop of, anyway.

- Info Common stingray (Dasyatis pastinaca), Cape Palos, region of Murcia, Spain. This species of stingray is found in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean and Black Seas. It typically inhabits sandy or muddy habitats in coastal waters shallower than 60 m (200 ft), often burying itself in sediment. The common stingray has been reported to reach a width of 1.4 m (4.6 ft) and a length of 2.5 m (8.2 ft), though a width of 45 cm (18 in) is more typical. The predominant prey of the common stingray are bottom-dwelling crustaceans, though it also takes molluscs, polychaete worms, and small bony fishes. Note: we have only 2 FPs of this family and no FP of the genus Dasyatis. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 04:48, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose For me, while the colors are nice and the overall effect quite pleasing, the FP dealbreaker is the large branch up top, which throws off the symmetry. (Also, it is incorrect to describe this as a sunset ... given the latitude, time- and datestamp, this is properly a white night image as this is a sky that will never darken before the sun rises again. I have so recategorized it). Daniel Case (talk) 17:56, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

- Info Male (Thalassoma pavo), Cape Palos, Spain. This species of wrasse is native to the rocky coasts of the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The ornate wrasse occurs in on rocky areas where there are growths of algae and sea grass beds. They are all female in their early life phase and the bigger ones (applies to all exemplars longer than 9-12 centimetres -3.5 to 4.7 in-) transform in males, reaching a maximal length of 12 centimetres (4.7 in). Ornate wrasses can be found at depths from 0 to 50 metres (0 to 164 ft). It's also popular as a game fish, and can be found in the aquarium trade.Note: we have no FPs of the genus Thalassoma. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 19:37, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

- Support The most adorable photo I have seen so far among the entries for Wiki Loves Folklore 2023. The file size is unfortunately not very big, but we wouldn’t really gain anything by a higher resolution.

heartbroken opposeugh, I'm really torn here. This is without doubt one of the most pleasing shots I've seen here for a while, but 2.6 Mpx from a 36 Mpx sensor dos not really align well with our "best of the best" approach. But let's not get hung up on numbers. What matter is what it does to the image, and that's where I disagree with Aristeas above: There is a lot of fine detail in this scene and I think the image currently doesn't really do that justice when viewed as a whole image at screen size. Zoomed in to 1:1, it looks quite mushy despite all the downscaling. That lens on that camera under that kind of light should be capable of so much more, and with some clever processing before the downscaling I think it should be possible to produce a super crisp image ... or am I missing something here? --El Grafo (talk) 08:11, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment Well, I would not call the picture mushy, not even at 1:1. The brush-like structure of the incense bundles poses the risk that sharpening very quickly leads to zigzag structures and an artificial impression. Therefore, it may have been wise for the photographer to forgo additional sharpening during the downscaling. --Aristeas (talk) 08:51, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
- I don't know, maybe my expectations are unreasonable. Could be that my internal calibration is off, I haven't done much editing myself lately. Everyone feel free to disagree, please! El Grafo (talk) 09:00, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
- IMO El Grafo is quite right. Otherwise a great shot. Yann (talk) 09:54, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
- I don’t know what are you taking about. Do you prefer resolution of an image over other techniques as well as its story?
- I uploaded a 2048px 72dpi resized image which I usually use for my social networks, not any high technique here. Vietsui (talk) 10:13, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
- This is an amazing image, if you have a better resolution, we would highly welcome you upload this, so it can not only be used online, but also for example for printing the image on a large poster. Kritzolina (talk) 15:03, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

- @Vietsui: On the file page, under the "File history" tab (or whatever the equivalent is in your display language) there should be a link; in English it says "Upload a new version of this file".

- Info School of Yellowmouth barracudas (Sphyraena viridensis), Cape Palos, Spain. It's a predatory ray finned fish belonging to the family of the barracudas (Sphyraenidae), which is found in the warmer waters of the western Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It can grow to a length of 65 centimetres (26 in), although the average length is 35–40 centimetres (14–16 in). In summer they form schools (as depicted here) of up to 180 fish, although most schools number 30-40 fish, in areas where there are strong currents. No FPs so far of the whole order Istiophoriformes. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 05:44, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

File:Purnululu (16335854550) – edited.jpg[edit]
@Famberhorst, Iifar, Ikan Kekek, Basile Morin, and -donald-: I tried to fix this on Adobe Lightroom – it's my first time doing this (please excuse my potentially withered attempt to fix the exposure issues; any help more than appreciated!) --SHB2000 (talk) 12:48, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Slightly improved, but the quality is not up to current FP standards. There are still many areas in the sky where the clouds are weird, and it's very noisy. The original is a JPG. You need the RAW (of good quality) to produce a clean aspect. Maybe even several pictures taken in bracketing mode for different brightness ranges -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:36, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This one is definitely slightly better.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:29, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per Basile. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:55, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination. I tried to fix this, but I guess not much can be done :-(. SHB2000 (talk) 09:36, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
